EASTON, Pa. It was a remarkable day at Lafayette College’s Fisher Stadium.

Super Bowl MVP quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning trolled the sidelines Sunday as honorary coaches for the 1993
football teams at Easton Area and Phillipsburg high schools. The brothers were amazed at just how two historic
cross-Delaware River rivals could pull it off and have 13,350 amped fans watching.

Phillipsburg beat Easton 27-12 in a eagerly-anticipated G2 Replay Game sponsored by Gatorade.

The players, now in their early 30s, played to a 7-7 deadlock Nov. 25, 1993 and Gatorade decided the communities would
be a great place to launch its Replay series.

“”High school football is one of the greatest institutions around,” said Peyton, who was a honorary coach for Easton.
“”It was a special atmosphere, the guys were fired up, bumping shoulder pads before the game. The game had the same energy,
intensity and adrenaline and the crowd was unbelievable.

“”You could tell just how important football is around here, there’s no question about that,” he added. “”That’s the
kind of town you want to play in. You want to play in a place where football is important to you. You could see it from the
passion of the players.”

“”We were lucky to have played in front of 1,000 people in high school,” said Eli, who led the Giants to a Super Bowl
win in February of 2008. “”This exceeded my expectations. The fans, the cheerleaders, the fans. The amount of people who
came here was great.”

North Hunterdon assistant football and wrestling coach Tim Flynn, who helped keep the game tied in 1993 by blocking an
attempted Easton field goal, was back in the secondary Sunday.

“”It was absolutely unbelievable,” said Flynn of the atmosphere. “”To ask people to do it, then actually do it? That’s
ridiculous and they did it. I can’t believe it. I don’t think you could have scripted it any better.”

Flynn added that Phillipsburg didn’t beat Easton in football or wrestling in the three year years he was a varsity
performer. He had to wait 16 years, but it happened.
